一时间，厉吼声大做，剑光纵横飞舞，很快，就有数只炼尸被斩下了头颅，但剑光却也因此，将威能损耗殆尽了，越来越黯，最后化为点点星光于雾海中消散。
For a moment, the room echoed with loud roars as sword lights danced and darted. Soon, several Corpse Refinement corpses lost their heads to his attacks, but the sword lights also suffered significant damage, dimming until they dissipated like tiny stars in the mist.
ér zhè diǎn sǔn shī ， xiāng duì yú nà yuán yuán bù jué de liàn shī lái shuō ， bù zhí yī tí ， lín xuān de liǎn sè yīn mái wú bǐ ， duì fāng shī zhǎn de bù yīng gāi shì huàn shù ， zhè liàn shī yòu zěn me huì shì zhēn de ， ér qiě shù liàng rú cǐ páng bó ， dàng zhēn lìng rén gǎn jué dào yǒu xiē jí shǒu le 。
而这点损失，相对于那源源不绝的炼尸来说，不值一提，林轩的脸色阴霾无比，对方施展的不应该是幻术，这炼尸又怎么会是真的，而且数量如此磅礴，当真令人感觉到有些棘手了。
However, this loss was negligible compared to the endless stream of new Corpse Refinement corpses. Lin Xuan's face darkened as he realized that the opponent wasn't using an illusion; these corpses were real and in such vast numbers, making them quite troublesome.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān tū rán méi tóu yī tiāo ， fǎng fú gǎn jué dào shén me ， èr huà bù shuō de xiàng zuǒ kuà chū yī bù 。
脑海中念头尚未转过，林轩突然眉头一挑，仿佛感觉到什么，二话不说的向左跨出一步。
Before his thoughts could fully form, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, sensing something. Without hesitation, he stepped to his left.
yú shì ， tā de shēn yǐng zhòu rán xiāo shī le 。
于是，他的身影骤然消失了。
His figure vanished instantly.
lín xuān de fǎn yìng bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， jī hū jiù zài tā duǒ kāi de yī chà nà ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， lái yuán yú tā de shēn cè ， yī dào hán guāng jī hū shì tiē zhe tā de shēn tǐ jiāng cán yǐng dòng chuān ér guò 。
林轩的反应不可谓不迅速，几乎就在他躲开的一刹那，空间波动骤起，来源于他的身侧，一道寒光几乎是贴着他的身体将残影洞穿而过。
Lin Xuan's reaction was swift. As he dodged, a spatial fluctuation erupted from his side, and a cold light pierced through the residual image just millimeters away from him.
lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， yìng rù yǎn lián de shì yī qīng tóng duǎn gē ， huā wén bān bó ， xiǎn rán shì yī wēi lì bù fán de gǔ bǎo le 。
林轩转过头颅，映入眼帘的是一青铜短戈，花纹斑驳，显然是一威力不凡的古宝了。
Turning his head, Lin Xuan saw a bronze short spear with worn patterns—a powerful ancient treasure.
yòng liàn shī xī yǐn zì jǐ de zhù yì ， ràng zhè bǎo bèi tōu xí ？
用炼尸吸引自己的注意，让这宝贝偷袭？
The Corpse Refinement corpses were drawing his attention to let this treasure attack?
lín xuān sì hū bǔ zhuō dào le yì diǎn duì fāng de yòng yì ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， lì máng zhòu qǐ ， yòu yǒu jǐ diǎn hán guāng fú xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
林轩似乎捕捉到了一点对方的用意，然而就在这时，厉芒骤起，又有几点寒光浮现在视线里。
Lin Xuan seemed to catch onto the opponent's intent. But suddenly, another cold light appeared in his vision.
lín xuān bù gǎn dà yì ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， zài cì duǒ kāi ， rán ér chū hū yù liào de ， zhè yī cì què méi yǒu wēi xiǎn xí lái 。
林轩不敢大意，身形一闪，再次躲开，然而出乎预料的，这一次却没有危险袭来。
Lin Xuan didn't take any chances and dodged again. However, unexpectedly, no danger followed this time. The cold light vanished mid-flight; it was just an illusion designed to distract him.
nà hán guāng fēi dào bàn tú jiù xiāo shī bú jiàn ， bù guò shì huàn yǐng biàn huà chū lái de xū wàng zhī wù ， mù dì shì rǎo rén ěr mù 。
那寒光飞到半途就消失不见，不过是幻影变化出来的虚妄之物，目的是扰人耳目。
True or false?
zhēn yì jiǎ lái jiǎ yì zhēn me ？
真亦假来假亦真么？
With the Corpse Refinement corpses added to the mix, this Thousand Illusion Old Demon was far more troublesome than expected.
zài jiā shàng liàn shī ， zhè qiān huàn lǎo mó ， bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán chán dé duō 。
再加上炼尸，这千幻老魔，比想象的还要难缠得多。
Lin Xuan found himself struggling to keep up.
yī shí jiān ， lín xuān pí yú yìng fù 。
一时间，林轩疲于应付。
If a cultivator were in his place, they might have been at a loss. The Thousand Illusion Old Demon relied on intricate illusions, even for peers, causing significant headaches.
rú guǒ huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， kǒng pà hái zhēn shù shǒu wú cè ， qiān huàn lǎo mó ， píng jiè zhe yī shǒu xuán miào wú fāng de huàn shù ， jiù suàn shì tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， yě shì dà gǎn tóu téng de 。
如果换一名修仙者，在这种情况下，恐怕还真束手无策，千幻老魔，凭借着一手玄妙无方的幻术，就算是同阶修仙者，也是大感头疼的。
With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Xuan produced the Nine Palaces Sword from his sleeve, dancing through the air and keeping the Corpse Refinement corpses at bay. It seemed safe for now, but he faced no improvement in his disadvantageous situation.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， chī chī zhī shēng dà zuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yú yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， zòng héng fēi wǔ ， yī shí piàn kè ， nà shù liàng zhòng duō de liàn shī yě jìn shēn bù dé ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， sì hū zàn shí ān quán ， dàn tā suǒ miàn lín de bù lì jú miàn ， què yě bú jiàn rèn hé gǎi guān 。
林轩袖袍一拂，嗤嗤之声大做，九宫须臾剑于衣袖中鱼游而出，纵横飞舞，一时片刻，那数量众多的炼尸也近身不得，表面上看，似乎暂时安全，但他所面临的不利局面，却也不见任何改观。
He had no idea where the enemy was hiding; the Thousand Illusion Old Demon could strike with treacherous tactics anytime.
gēn běn jiù bù zhī dào dí rén yǐn cáng zài nǎ lǐ ， qiān huàn lǎo mó suí shí kě yǐ yòng yīn xiǎn dǎi dú de shǒu duàn tōu xí 。
根本就不知道敌人隐藏在哪里，千幻老魔随时可以用阴险歹毒的手段偷袭。
If it were just treasures, Lin Xuan would be fine. His powers weren't weak, and he could handle whatever came at him. But the key issue was that his opponent excelled in illusions—many attacks might not be real, yet he couldn’t afford to ignore them.
rú guǒ guāng shì bǎo wù zhòng duō yě jiù bà le ， lín xuān zì wèn ， shén tōng yě shì bù ruò ， bīng lái jiāng dǎng shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn ， jǐn néng zhī chēng dé zhù ， kě guān jiàn shì ， duì fāng shàn cháng huàn shù ， hěn duō gōng jī ， bù yí dìng shì zhēn de ， kě piān piān ， zì jǐ què bù néng bù duǒ 。
如果光是宝物众多也就罢了，林轩自问，神通也是不弱，兵来将挡水来土掩，尽能支撑得住，可关键是，对方擅长幻术，很多攻击，不一定是真的，可偏偏，自己却不能不躲。
This made his mana consumption skyrocket.
rú cǐ yī lái ， fǎ lì de xiāo hào jiù biàn dé jí kuài 。
如此一来，法力的消耗就变得极快。
Was this an attempt to wear him down? Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer as he turned his head. A faint silver light flashed in his eyes.
xiǎng yào jiāng zì jǐ tuō kuǎ me ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ， cháo zhe zuǒ yòu zhuǎn le zhuǎn tóu lú ， móu dǐ shēn chù yǒu yī sī bù yì chá jué de yín máng shǎn guò 。
想要将自己拖垮么，林轩嘴角边露出一丝冷笑之色，朝着左右转了转头颅，眸底深处有一丝不易察觉的银芒闪过。
He noticed a barely visible smoke-like figure approaching from the left, moving silently toward him.
suí hòu fā xiàn zuǒ cè ， yǒu yī dào jī hū dàn ruò bú jiàn dì yān yǐng ， zhèng qiǎo rán wú shēng dì cháo zì jǐ jiē jìn 。
随后发现左侧，有一道几乎淡若不见地烟影，正悄然无声地朝自己接近。
This guy was using Corpse Refinement corpses and various real-seeming tactics to draw his attention while preparing to sneak up for an attack.
zhè jiā huo ， yòng liàn shī yǔ gè zhǒng shì zhēn shì jiǎ de shǒu duàn xī yǐn zì jǐ de zhù yì ， tā què zhǔn bèi qiāo qiāo qián jìn le tōu xí 。
这家伙，用炼尸与各种似真似假的手段吸引自己的注意，他却准备悄悄潜近了偷袭。
One could say he was bold due to his skill or incredibly cunning.
kě yǐ shuō yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， yě kě yǐ shuō shí zài tài jiǎo huá 。
可以说艺高人胆大，也可以说实在太狡猾。
Regardless, if this old demon came close enough, the next strike would be devastating.
bù guǎn shì shén me ， ruò zhēn děng duì fāng lái dào le jìn chù ， nà yī xià gōng jī ， bì dìng shì shí pò tiān jīng de 。
不管是什么，若真等对方来到了近处，那一下攻击，必定是石破天惊的。
Fortunately, Lin Xuan had many techniques at his disposal. The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye still worked in this illusionary array.
xìng hǎo zì jǐ dǒng de de shén tōng yě hěn duō ， tiān fèng shén mù zài zhè huàn zhèn zhōng ， yī jiù xiǎn chū le xiào guǒ 。
幸好自己懂得的神通也很多，天凤神目在这幻阵中，依旧显出了效果。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile that quickly disappeared. He would turn the tables and surprise the old demon.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān gōu lè chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài jiù bú jiàn le 。
林轩嘴角边勾勒出一丝讥嘲之色，但很快就不见了。
Pretending to see nothing, he continued fighting the Corpse Refinement corpses as before.
xiǎng tōu xí zì jǐ ， nà jiù lái gè jiāng jì jiù jì ， sòng yǔ zhè lǎo mó yí gè jīng xǐ 。
想偷袭自己，那就来个将计就计，送予这老魔一个惊喜。
The smoke-like figure approached swiftly, closing the distance until it was only a few feet away from Lin Xuan.
lín xuān zhuāng zuò shén me fā xiàn yě wú ， yī jiù àn bù jiù bān de zài nà lǐ yǔ liàn shī zhàn dòu zhe 。
林轩装作什么发现也无，依旧按部就班的在那里与炼尸战斗着。
The Thousand Illusion True Immortal's face showed signs of distress. Just as he prepared to reveal himself, something unexpected happened.
nà qīng yān jiē jìn dé shí fēn xùn sù ， hěn kuài ， jiù yǔ lín xuān zhǐ shèng xià shù chǐ le 。
那青烟接近得十分迅速，很快，就与林轩只剩下数尺了。
Lin Xuan turned his head with a mocking expression.
qiān huàn zhēn rén de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì sè ， zhèng yào zhǔn bèi xiàn shēn ér chū ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， chū hū tā yì liào de yí mù fā shēng le 。
千幻真人的脸上闪过一丝厉色，正要准备现身而出，然而就在此刻，出乎他意料的一幕发生了。
"You..."
lín xuān sà rán zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mǎn liǎn de jī fěng zhī sè 。
林轩飒然转过头颅，满脸的讥讽之色。
The Thousand Illusion Old Demon's eyes widened in shock.
qiān huàn lǎo mó dà jīng shī sè 。
千幻老魔大惊失色。
Lin Xuan had no intention of wasting words. Seizing the moment, he raised his right hand and punched forward without using any treasure.
“ wǒ shén me ？”
“我什么？”
"No good!"
lín xuān què gēn běn wú yì yǔ tā duō zuò luō suo ， shí jī shāo zòng jí shì ， lín xuān zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi de yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī quán xiàng qián dǎ le guò qù 。
林轩却根本无意与他多做啰嗦，时机稍纵即逝，林轩早有准备的右手抬起，一拳像前打了过去。
The Thousand Illusion Old Demon was shocked but couldn't dodge at such close range. Reluctantly, he released all his protective essence qi.
méi yǒu shǐ yòng bǎo wù 。
没有使用宝物。
"Bang!"
dàn zhè yī quán de wēi lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān yuán běn jiù shì fǎ tǐ shuāng xiū de 。
但这一拳的威力也是非同小可，林轩原本就是法体双修的。
The punch hit hard, sending the opponent flying like a kite.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan's tactics didn't end there. With a flick of his left hand, a thick lightning bolt shot out from his sleeve and flew in pursuit.
qiān huàn lǎo mó dà jīng shī sè ， dàn zhè me jìn de jù lí nǎ róng dé xià tā duǒ ， wú nài zhī xià ， zhǐ hǎo jiāng hù tǐ líng qì quán bù fàng chū 。
千幻老魔大惊失色，但这么近的距离哪容得下他躲，无奈之下，只好将护体灵气全部放出。
"This..."
“ pēng ！”
“嘭！”
Despite being a Great Tribulation cultivator with a refined body, the Thousand Illusion True Immortal couldn't withstand Lin Xuan's punch. He felt blood surging through his chest as he struggled to recover, but another arc of lightning appeared.
zhè yī quán dǎ le gè jiē shí ， duì fāng rú tuō xiàn de fēng zhēng yì bān fēi yuǎn le 。
这一拳打了个结实，对方如脱线的风筝一般飞远了。
The dark black lightning was strange; its power was unclear, but it caused an inexplicable sense of unease.
lín xuān de shǒu duàn dāng rán bú huì jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ chù ， zhǐ jiàn tā zuǒ shǒu gēn zhe yī fú ， dùn shí ， yī dào ér bì cū de shǎn diàn yóu yī xiù zhōng jī shè ér chū 。
林轩的手段当然不会仅止于此处，只见他左手跟着一拂，顿时，一道儿臂粗的闪电由衣袖中激射而出。
Without time to change any treasures, the old demon simply summoned a golden mirror in his hand.
lüè yī pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiù xiàng duì fāng zhuī qù le 。
略一盘旋飞舞，就像对方追去了。
This treasure not only helped with his illusions but also excelled in other techniques.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
As soon as the ancient mirror left his hand, it grew significantly and emitted yellow beams of light.
āi le lín xuān nà yī quán ， qiān huàn zhēn rén suī shì dù jié qī dà néng ， fǎ tǐ qiān chuí bǎi liàn ， què yě chéng shòu bú zhù ， gǎn jué xiōng kǒu xuè qì fān yǒng ， dàn tā méi yǒu shí jiān píng fù ， yīn wèi yòu kàn jiàn le nà diàn hú 。
挨了林轩那一拳，千幻真人虽是渡劫期大能，法体千锤百炼，却也承受不住，感觉胸口血气翻涌，但他没有时间平复，因为又看见了那电弧。
However, these beams dissipated upon contact with the lightning. The arc struck the surface of the mirror, causing its spiritual aura to dim dramatically before falling from the sky.
mò hēi sè ， hào qí guài de diàn hú ， yǒu shén me wēi néng tā bù qīng chǔ ， dàn xīn zhōng què mò míng qí miào de bù ān dào jí chù 。
墨黑色，好奇怪的电弧，有什么威能他不清楚，但心中却莫名其妙的不安到极处。
"Impossible!"
zhè shí hòu ， tā yě lái bù jí gēng huàn shén me bǎo wù ， gān cuì jiù jiāng shǒu zhōng nà jīn huáng sè de gǔ jìng jì chū 。
这时候，他也来不及更换什么宝物，干脆就将手中那金黄色的古镜祭出。
The Thousand Illusion Old Demon was shocked. What kind of technique had he used to destroy his demon mirror?
cǐ bǎo bù jǐn duì tā shī zhǎn huàn shù dà yǒu bāng zhù ， qí yú shén tōng yě shì bù sú 。
此宝不仅对他施展幻术大有帮助，其余神通也是不俗。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his face showing satisfaction. The power of the Illusionary Yin Thunder was slightly greater than expected.
guāng gǔ jìng lí shǒu yǐ hòu ， lì kè biàn dà le bèi xǔ ， bìng fàng chū huáng méng méng de guāng zhù 。
光古镜离手以后，立刻变大了倍许，并放出黄蒙蒙的光柱。
As the mirror became soiled, the fog around them began to dissipate visibly.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng ， nà guāng zhù yī jiē chù dào diàn hú ， jiù bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le ， suí hòu diàn hú yī shǎn ， jī zhòng le gǔ jìng de biǎo miàn 。
然而没有用，那光柱一接触到电弧，就冰消瓦解掉了，随后电弧一闪，击中了古镜的表面。
This was fortunate; the Thousand Illusion Old Demon needed this treasure for his illusions, and after being hit by Lin Xuan's punch, his illusions failed.
cǐ bǎo de líng guāng zhòu rán àn dàn ， fǎng fú yī xià zi shī qù le líng xìng yì bān ， yóu bàn kōng zhōng diào le xià lái 。
此宝的灵光骤然黯淡，仿佛一下子失去了灵性一般，由半空中掉了下来。
However, the Corpse Refinement corpses didn't disappear. They were a separate secret technique of the old demon, unrelated to his illusions. Great Tribulation old monsters had many techniques at their disposal.
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
The situation reversed as blood trickled from the Thousand Illusion Old Demon's lips. His chest was shredded by Lin Xuan's punch, revealing a silver inner armor underneath.
qiān huàn lǎo mó hài rán shī sè ， zhè shì shén me shén tōng ， yī zhāo jiù jiāng zì jǐ de mó jìng fǎ bǎo pò chú 。
千幻老魔骇然失色，这是什么神通，一招就将自己的魔镜法宝破除。
No wonder; this old monster wore protective armor. Otherwise, Lin Xuan's punch would have destroyed his body beyond repair with just essence qi protection.
lín xuān zé shēn shēn hū xī ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì ， huàn yīn shén léi de wēi lì ， bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān yù gū de ， hái yào shāo wēi dà shàng nà me yī xiē 。
林轩则深深呼吸，脸上的表情十分满意，幻阴神雷的威力，比自己原先预估的，还要稍微大上那么一些。
Still, he suffered significant injuries.
ér suí zhe gǔ jìng bèi wū zhuó ， sì zhōu de wù qì jū rán yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù sàn kāi le 。
而随着古镜被污浊，四周的雾气居然以肉眼可见的速度散开了。
"Good, good."
zhè yě suàn wāi dǎ zhèng zháo ， qiān huàn lǎo mó shī zhǎn huàn shù yuán běn jiù yào jiè zhù zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， jiā shàng yòu bèi lín xuān yī quán zhòng chuāng ， suǒ yǐ ， tā shī zhǎn de huàn shù shī xiào diào le 。
这也算歪打正着，千幻老魔施展幻术原本就要借助这件宝物，加上又被林轩一拳重创，所以，他施展的幻术失效掉了。
The old demon laughed in fury. Although Lin Xuan had defeated the Heavenly Dao Ancestor, it was by chance. He hadn't taken this young man seriously but found himself severely injured and with destroyed treasures after this confrontation.
MM "Ahh!"
MM
For a moment, the room echoed with loud roars as sword lights danced and darted. Soon, several Corpse Refinement corpses lost their heads to his attacks, but the sword lights also suffered significant damage, dimming until they dissipated like tiny stars in the mist.

Lin Xuan seemed to catch onto the opponent's intent. But suddenly, another cold light appeared in his vision.
Lin Xuan didn't take any chances and dodged again. However, unexpectedly, no danger followed this time. The cold light vanished mid-flight; it was just an illusion designed to distract him.
True or false?
With the Corpse Refinement corpses added to the mix, this Thousand Illusion Old Demon was far more troublesome than expected.
